I like what I see in the concept art! I like medieval type stuff and that looks pretty cool. I would've loved to practice archery and what not... If only I was half my age...

Her hair IRL better be as epic as it is on screen.

Taa-da!

Not happy. Rapunzel is best princess. Moving her over to Town Square until the new princess M&G opens in Fantasyland isn't very nice.

I love Rapunzel best so far, too, but I haven't seen Brave yet so who knows what may happen there. I think the location is well suited for both characters. My problem is that MK needs to either just do show or just do a M&G. Otherwise, like Rapunzel, the line length is going to make it more hassle than it's worth to see her. I like Merida's costume/hair though.

:stunned: Does she not have a real bow prop she can pose with? Cause what the people above are doing just looks incredibly awkward....

Considering the show has an archery component, I'd assume she has something. But lets be real... Rafiki doesn't have a staff during normal sets, nor Mulan a sword, nor Aladdin a lamp, nor Green Army Men bazookas. Some things aren't practical with a character signing books, handling kids, and whatnot. Again though, there is an archery segment of the little game/show part of Merida's sets so I'd like to think she'll have something.

She looks great, though!

I think so, too. I can't wait to see in person!

From @attractions:

Merida & the bear cubs of Disney•Pixar's "Brave" are coming to Magic Kingdom next wk. Who's excited?

Merida's not at Magic Kingdom yet, but her merchandise is.

Aw, I met Merida from the video. She was wonderful, especially with the little boys. From my like along she successfully coaxed about five or six unwilling little boys to pictures.

Merida is very nice to be around with! Her accent was spot on!

She was complementing on my hair. She loves my curls.

The cubs are so cute! They nod and shake their heads! Also, they smile and pose for photos!

Farther shot.

Everyone can try some archery!

I love the fact that they let you shot arrows. Such an awesome touch.
